  • Towards Explaining Soviet Famine of 1931-3

    G Wheatcroft, Stephen G WheatcroftARTICLEFood and Foodways2004Cited by: 1

    This article analyzes the causes of the great Soviet famine of 1931–3 in terms of a complex of factors operating at different times. It begins with a brief description of the historical patterns of food supply and the causes of earlier Russian famines, which it argues are important for understanding the 1931–3 famine. The location and timing of the separate stages of the famine and the increases in mortality associated with these separate stages …

  • Stalin, Grain Stocks and the Famine of 1932-1933

    Open AccessR W Davies, Mark B Tauger et al.ARTICLESlavic Review1995Cited by: 8References: 3

    Most western and all Soviet studies of the Stalinist economy have ignored the role played by the stockpiling of grain in the agricultural crisis of the early 1930s. Thus in his major work on Stalinist agriculture published in 1949, Naum Jasny frankly admitted that data were insufficient to reach a conclusion, merely noting that "stocks from former years probably declined during 1932." Baykov, Dobb, Volin and Nove said nothing about grain stocks. …

  • Materials for a Balance of the Soviet National Economy, 1928-1930

    Robert Lewis, G Wheatcroft et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review1987

    This book contains a full translation of a major but little-known Soviet work on Soviet national income accounts for a crucial stage in the social and economic transformation of the Soviet economy from 1928 to 1930. These were years of mass collectivisation and the launching of the Soviet industrialisation drive. The USSR was perhaps unique in having a well-developed statistical service able to record the detailed changes in economic relationship…

  • Steven Rosefielde's Kliukva

    Open AccessR W Davies, G Wheatcroft et al.ARTICLESlavic Review1980Cited by: 2References: 3

    Steven Rosefielde's article has two objectives: first, to display the major features and the "revolutionary implications" for Soviet economic history of evidence provided in Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago; second, to devise "a coherent and consistent countertheory to the prevailing interpretation of Soviet industrialization." In pursuit of these objectives, he initiates "a complete reconsideration of the causes and consequences of the First Fiv…

  • Further Thoughts on the First Soviet Five-Year Plan

    Open AccessR W Davies, G Wheatcroft et al.ARTICLESlavic Review1975References: 2

    In his pioneering article, Professor Holland Hunter set himself the limited but difficult task of checking the First Five-Year Plan approved in the spring of 1929 for its internal consistency. He did not attempt to find out whether the targets of the plan for production and investment, and for "qualitative" indicators such as the capital-output ratio, were feasible: he took these targets as given, and tried to find out whether they were mutually …
